Just Astonishing

I wasn’t in class today, due my third block teacher wanting me and a couple others to go hear some people and two veterans talk. I just could not believe I saw and heard 101 year old veteran man speak. That is a blessing to live that long. His named is Taylor Howard and he was born in 1918. He fought in World War II. After he retire from the military he started businesses in segregated state. He was a black man owning his own businesses. He left out all the negatives to focus on the positive to get where he needed to be. And that is what I admired about him today.
